(4 points) suppose the production function in the solow model is given by yt = ak¯ 3/4 t l 1/4 t . (a) what are the five equations and five unknowns that summarize the solow model? (b) show the transition dynamics in the solow model if ¯sy0 < ¯dk0. make sure you label the axes, curves, initial level of capital and steady-state level of capital. (c) solve for capital, output, capital per person, and output per person in the steady state. (d) if a¯ = 2, l¯ = 4, ¯s = 0.2, and ¯d = 0.05, calculate the steady-state level of capital and output per person.

Ajustification for job training programs is that they improve worker productivity. suppose that you are asked to evaluate whether more job training makes workers more productive. however, rather than having data on individual workers, you have access to data on manufacturing firms in ohio. in particu- lar, for each firm, you have information on hours of job training per worker (training) and number of nondefective items produced per worker hour (output). (i) carefully state the ceteris paribus thought experiment underlying this policy question. (ii) does it seem likely that a firm’s decision to train its workers will be independent of worker characteristics? what are some of those measurable and unmeasurable worker characteristics? (iii) name a factor other than worker characteristics that can affect worker productivity. (iv) if you find a positive correlation between output and training, would you have convincingly established that job training makes workers more productive? explain.
